Henry Krieger - Who Will Love Me as I am? lyrics

[VIOLET] Like a fish plucked from the ocean Tossed into a foreign stream Always knew that I was different Often fled into a dream I ignored the raging current Right against the tide I swam But I floated with the question Who will love me as I am? [DAISY] Like an odd exotic creature On display inside a zoo Hearing children asking questions Makes me ask some questions too Could we bend the laws of nature? Could a lion love a lamb? Who could see beyond this surface? Who will love me as I am? [DAISY & VIOLET] Who will ever call to say "I love you"? Send me flowers or a telegram? Who could proudly stand beside me? Who will love me as I am? [DAISY] Like a clown whose tears cause laughter Trapped inside the center ring [VIOLET] Even seeing smiling faces I am lonely pondering [DAISY & VIOLET] Who would want to join this madness? Who would change my monogram? Who will be part of my circus? Who will love me as I am? Who will ever call to say I love you? Send me flowers or a telegram? Who could proudly stand beside me? Who will love me as I am? [COMPANY] Who could proudly stand beside me? Who will love me as I am?
